Highly Suspect Reviews – Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising

After the events of the first Neighbors film, where Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne have to defend their quietude from the noisy frat next door headed up by Zac Efron, we see them now…peaceful, happy…until a major film studio drives up to their door with huge bags of money and say, “Hey, trade you these for an unnecessary sequel”? Which isn’t to say this sequel isn’t bad, as such, just generally more of the same, now adding Chloe Grace Moretz as the leader of a new sorority that takes over the house next door. This is apparently a world that police do not exist in. Chris, JC, and Elliott tell you whether this grade is a pass or a fail.

Born in the wilds of northern Virginia, in 1992 Chris managed to put all of his survival skills to use and barely escaped with his life to Austin Texas, where ever since he’s dabbled in everything from plumber’s assistant to sandwich maker, from band to bar management. An opportunity to see theatrical release films for free, by becoming a critic on a local public access show called “The Reel Deal”, turned into a full time job when Chris and his friends decided to take it to the internet. They built the site Spill.com, adding multiple podcasts and animated features, to no small amount of success. During this time, a fortuitous friendship sprung up between Chris and young Brian Salisbury, who was also a local film critic, and they merged their forces of will, and their laundry list of ideas for shows, to eventually build this paradise you see before you.
